Yes, indeed Neil is one of us....and his troubles started so early that I was young enough (and dumb enough) to be offended that he got such attention, at least in my circles, for his history. I was already drinking like a teenage fish, and resented any of my fave artists even IMPLYING that mind altering substances could possibly be a problem. I resented that the people just a little ahead of my generation were already calling it quits???? Good grief! Let me have my turn, I thought.

Sheesh.

I love this...I have a similar distant relationship with a young woman who always seems to be headed to airport at same time as me. She starts out south side, like me, does her makeup on the way, and has a car-charger flat-iron!! How is that possible? Straighten her hair, parks near where I do, and with great nonchalance saunters to airport security.

Edit...in case not obvious, we are each hurtling 20+ miles at 80mph in cars...driving!

Petals and Arg...so glad you are here with us. The depth of understanding here cannot be matched.

What is this “makeup” of which you speak? LOL!

If I ever have occasion to dress very well, I call my daughter to come over and put the makeup on tastefully. I just don’t have the magic touch!

LOL! Actual makeup has not adorned my face in the last 20 years. Yes, I know, that says a lot. I am lucky if my face is all roughly one color, vaguely close to what was marked “flesh” on my Crayolas. Wow. Another age placement there!!

All my life I’ve felt most comfortable in T-shirts and cutoffs.

One day a couple years ago I was standing behind this absolute knockout lady at the bank. T-shirt and shorts and nice tan legs, with long blonde hair down her back.

Then she turned around and her face looked like she was 100 years old!

I decided to retire the T-shirts and shorts for good that day.

I was at work today when the owner, half my age, walked by as I was whistling the guitar riff from Powderfinger. "What's that?"

1/2 hour later, down the youtube hole, we have a convert ladies and gents.

venuscat

Powderfinger trach......really.....are you serious.....I had no idea there were other than Aussies who know the brilliance of our Bernard. ♥♥

EDIT: No.....sadly I was wrong. Still Neil Young. Shame. Powderfinger are/were one of the greatest Aussie bands in the history of ever.

I hope you're doing OK Petals - you too argi

D

trachemys

I think they took their name from the song.

venuscat

Oh damn, of course they did....I am such an Aquarian.

Wiki: "The band's name is from Young's song of the same name."
Sigh....what am I to do with me.

Gilmer

Actually, when my tenants and I celebrated Australia Day when his mom was here, he played Powderfinger music as we dined on the meat pies!

venuscat

Yey...cos it's your kind of scene oh yeah.....ok, different song, best Powderfinger song, final ever performance.....OK....Aussies can argue.....

trachemys

That's another band and song all together!

Gilmer

Gosh, that song was HUGE when I was in fifth grade!

venuscat

And my just about favourite ever Aussie song done a different way....



And ha ha trach...do NOT get me started....I will get banned, because you will all demand it. I LOVE that musical.

Morning, some great posts this week.

Since the clocks went forward an hour I am waking up in the dark again.
